Dent Removal HELP!!!
While the truck is on stands, a bucket list has be created to get it back into shape. Getting a few dings removed is one of the task on the list. There are at least six that need to be addressed: One on each door and two on the tailgate. They are all quarter size or smaller. Some are not reachable due to door frames and other obstacles. I have no dent removing experience but have read all the gimmicky stuff, what really works? Or should I save my time and take a trip to the auto-surgeon?

Well I cant right now, I have no wheels.
That is what i figured, I have been avoiding this for a while but the Z rekindled my love affair with my Ram. I have to make it look better than that Nissan. Then I have to make the Tahoe out shine the Ram, then the Z will need a makeover but the Ram cant fall behind and would need some updates, after that... Shit I've gone cross-eyed.

When you have the time, take it to a shop... no need in making it worse.. I have tried all kinds of dent removal and ended up making it worse than it was..

^^that is true.. you run a high risk of making matters worse and more expensive to repair later

Well I swore when driving my truck became an option rather than a necessity I would fix it, the time has come. I really want to find someone with a bed in similar condition to mine so we can swap out beds and they can have the LineX so I can put a tonneau on the back. But I keep the roll pan and my tails....

Hopefully not too soon, I got a little ambitious and have a lot to finish before they are ready.
